An event to celebrate the life of actor and director Chris Harris will be held at the city's Theatre Royal next week.
The theatre where he directed and appeared in pantos for 13 years will host what it is calling a Farewell Jollification at 1pm on Tuesday May 20.
Friends, family and colleagues will celebrate his life with music, dance, song and tributes at the event, at which guests are being asked to wear bright and colourful clothing.
Mr Harris, who had directed and played the role of dame in the Theatre Royal pantos since 2001, died of cancer last month at the age of 71.
The Bridgwater-born father of two lived at Portishead and had also been a regular at pantos in Bristol, where he had co-written the Christmas extravaganzas for the Bristol Old Vic Company.
In a statement after his death, the Theatre Royal had paid tribute to Mr Harris's "wonderful personality, great sense of humour and heart of gold."
